Package: apt-cacher-ng
Version: 0.1.9-1
Severity: wishlist

When my connection to the internet went down I realized that apt-cacher-ng 
requires a active connection to even 
transfer cached files. Perhaps apt-cacher-ng could detect that it doesn't have 
a connection and then attempt to do 
the best job it can of being a mirror. (with the files it has locally) This 
would be much easier tahn having to 
fish out specific .deb file out of its partial mirror.

It would be important to always keep a cache of the latest package lists 
downloaded to do this.
